A junior listed in Toronto or Sydney does not need an office in Santiago. It needs someone who answers for it before the mining regulator, the environmental authority and the community, and who flags a deadline before it passes.
Ley 21.420 replaced Chile's flat mining patente with an escalating one: one tenth of a UTM per hectare if you can show work, rising by tenure bracket to 12 UTM per hectare if you cannot. That is a factor of 120.
You avoid the escalation by proving actual mine works, filing in the environmental system, or maintaining an active procedure under the mine safety regulation. All three are decisions that have to be made months before the March payment date.
For a foreign holder with twenty undrilled concessions, this stopped being an administrative line item and became a portfolio decision.
Who can sign what, and what is missing for the company to be able to act.
With the Ley 21.420 scale applied concession by concession, and a decision for each: prove works, file environmentally, or relinquish.
March patentes, filings before the mining regulator, corporate and tax compliance, with owners and dates.
Who decides what at the mining regulator, the environmental authority, the water authority, the regional ministry and the municipality.
Three pages, with the decisions that have to be taken this year.
Fixed, closed price with no hourly billing. Guaranteed turnaround from receipt of complete background material. The full value of the package is credited against the following mandate if you engage us within six months. Delivered as a signed document plus a 60-minute presentation session.
Junior companies listed on TSX, TSXV or ASX with Chilean assets, and foreign renewable energy developers without a local structure.
Ongoing local representation runs from a basic mode to a full regulatory and community interface. The monthly fee is set on scope.
Nine in all. Clients usually start with the one that unblocks the next decision, not with the biggest one.
US$7,500 · 2 weeks. A score out of 25 on rule stability, permitting, social licence, fiscal clarity and institutional capacity. Second jurisdiction, US$4,500.
US$6,500 · 3 weeks. Between 25 and 35 credible candidates for regulatory roles, with real compensation bands. We look where global firms are contractually barred from looking.
US$11,000 · 3 weeks. Susceptibility of direct impact, judicial resilience, minutes and agreements with redlines, and an inventory of the commitments still live.
Cultural gaps and different regulatory frameworks are tremendously intimidating when investing in an unknown jurisdiction. Sound professional support provides an edge.
